THOUGHTS:

Thought : When taking field recordings – who is recording who (for example the tree dryads recording information from the tribes, storing it and passing it on) are we then taking record of one another)
Thought: what do you mean by the word environment what is the distinction between the word and why dose it associate itself with nature?
